SIFE sponsors financial seminar series

Black Hills State University will host “You Really Can Have What You Want,” a financial presentation by Terry Mills, from Consumer Credit Counseling in Rapid City, Wednesday, Sept. 17 at 2 p.m. in Jonas Hall Room 304. Mills will discuss the importance of establishing and maintaining a budget and how having a controlled and well-defined budget will allow you to achieve your financial goals and help you get the things you truly want in life.

The presentation is the first in a series of financial seminars sponsored by the BHSU Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) in conjunction with Highmark Federal Credit Union.
